Yes, it would. That's why I didn't just go ahead and do it without asking :)
The GNOME HIG (whose rules we tend to try to follow) recommends that
every "primary window" have a Help menu with at least "Contents" and
"About."
Most "primary windows" are not intended to be as narrow as Pidgin's
buddy list. We've been forced to allow the Buddy List window to shrink
as small as you want because the width of the menu bar is wider than
most people prefer it. I, personally, would rather have an enforced
minimum size, than I would a Help menu. I'm curious to see who agrees.
